Vinyl

HARDCORE. Unreleased 1984 recordings by this chaotic hardcore band from Sapporo, Japan featuring members of L.S.D. and TRANQUILIZER finally sees the light of day. Truly deranged hardcore influenced by THE STALIN, as well as their Sapporo contemporaries like DEEF, and TRANQUILIZER who were all pushing the envelope in terms of speed and rawness of sound even in the early years of the '80s. Includes an insert with unseen photos, band interview, and liner notes.

HARDCORE. Vinyl pressing following 2 initial cassette runs of the stellar debut from this Olympia powerhouse named GIRLS LIVING OUTSIDE SOCIETY'S SHIT. The musicianship is pretty simply structured, but these songs blaze by with plenty of impacting rage. There's buzzsaw guitars, frenzied drums, and lashing breakdowns galore across this demo's 10ish minute run time.

HARDCORE. G.L.O.S.S. is still really mad about shit that really matters. In "trans day of revenge", they tear down pacifism in the face of state violence, transmisogyny and respectability politics, all in 5 tracks that will leave your heart pounding with joy and rage. This is for all the trans punks wanting more, 6min. that allows us to envision an alternate future and "weaponize our alienation". Searing riffs, raw vocals, d-beats.

GRINDCORE. Finally available on vinyl. This album was on everyones grindcore top 10 of 2015, and now the vinyl version will for sure be on the 2016 list. "body horror" is the debut LP from this Canadian band. A 31min. grindcore rollercoaster. It’s slimy, raw old-school grindcore with a punk rockheart. G.O.D. for dessert serves covers REPULSION, CARNAGE and CSSO. Responsible for the graphic design is exquisite French artist Pierre Braindead. Vinyl is limited to 500 copies and comes with a beautiful poster.

GRINDCORE. More Than 5 Years after the CD-release of this forward-thinking grindcore-opus on Relapse, the time has come to listen to "the funeral march" in a re-mastered vinyl edition! This is more than a devout collection of blasting beats, sweltering guitars and real-world lyric by these swedish guys. "the funeral march" incorporates sinister melodies and a keen sense of dynamics to an already explosive mix. GADGET is more fierce and focused than ever before and shaping the future of grindcore with "the funeral march". Colored (red) vinyl comes with gatefold-cover.

HARDCORE-PUNK. Destined to be the most famous of all the bands. At least in their vision of the future that is. Trippy violence and snake charms drenched in delay and fuel this wild, ugly, mid-tempo hardcore-punk vehicle. A journey into the dark, with a purely stomping tempo that drives buzzsaw guitar, reverb-soaked vocals and maniacal lyrical delivery. All the way across the salt. Vinyl is housed in a heavy duty sleeve and includes a digital download card.

HARDCORE-PUNK. Your favorite mid-tempo manglers are back with "locker room". GAG deliver 2 noisy, mid-tempo ragers to this 7" that was designated for their 2014 tour. It features 1 track from their forthcoming full-length LP on Iron Lung Records. Only 500 copies will be made, housed in a high quality felt-weave sleeve. Vinyl includes a digital download card.

HARDCORE. Coupling the musical delivery of both TRIAL and FLOORPUNCH, Albany's GAINING GROUND bring a fresh approach to their scene, attacking with speed, anger and plenty of breakdowns and singalongs. Overall just completely astonishing hardcore. This is definitely a must buy if you're into this type of hardcore.

POST-HARDCORE. These 2 songs from internationally based hardcore standbys GALLOWS are their 1st since 2012's self-titled album. Though now stripped down to a four-piece, the band is clearly doing more with less: "chains" is one of the heaviest songs in their catalog, an anthemic sledgehammer backed on the b-side by the groovier but equally snarling "wristslitter". This newest incarnation of the act seems to vaguely parallel the progressive tendencies of contemporaries like FUCKED UP and BLACKLISTED without compromising their core ferociousness and snide, socially-aware bite. Colored vinyl includes a digital download card.

POST-HARDCORE. The hardcore band who made huge press waves after forming in 2005 in their homeland of the U.K. and who are now based all over the world, had an evolutionary overhaul on their self-titled full-length in 2012 with new vocalist Wade MacNeil (ALEXISONFIRE). But that was just the beginning. The band's 4th full,-length, "desolation sounds", continues their journey into weirder, esoteric territory that stretches the genre's boundaries and yet retains mammoth, rock power. Colored vinyl includes a digital download card.

POST-HARDCORE. Following its "grey britain" album in 2009, British outfit GALLOWS lost the backing of its major label and dealt with the departure of original singer. The band quickly rebounded and released this self-titled full-length with new vocalist Wade MacNeil (ex-ALEXISONFIRE). This 11 track offering is more pissed-off hardcore for the apocalypse. Metallic half-distortions pair with in-the-red guitar fuzz. MacNeil’s gravelly punk screams are even raspier and more guttural than his predecessor’s. Combine that with riff-borne ferocity, breakdowns, and singalongs, and you have a band as potent as ever. Colored vinyl includes a digital download card.

SLUDGE/DOOM-METAL. From the deepest, nastiest recesses of Gothenburg comes crushing Swedish sludge duo GALVANO. "trail of the serpent" includes 4 heavy-hitting tracks full of of epic riffing and tantalizing drumming, each of them reaching and stretching past the 10min. mark. But you will not find the slow, surging buildups that have become so typical in today's postgenres, in GALVANO's lengthy compositions: this album is a refreshingly diversified ode to the power of the riff...a record that will inevtiably make you move, and what better could guitar music do to you?

HARDCORE. Sour, metallic riffs touching on NWOBHM and Japanese Dogma Records back-catalogue lineage. Rumbling bass lines, thundering drums, and gruff vocals sung in English and Polish produce a pastiche of influences from early hardcore-punk's flirtatious relationship with what would become an even more extreme music alongside it. GAME is a confluence of ideas of 4 different cultures forcing themselves through the same prism - noise and velocity. Limited edition of 300 copies.

MELODIC/POP-PUNK. The Southern California-based outfit, now featuring Jeff Caudill, originally formed in 1990 and has since released 5 full-length albums, each carrying the band's dynamic, distinctive sound that has gone on to influence countless bands over the years. "come on down" is a brand new track, while the other is a new recording of a previously released song from GAMEFACE's 1995 release "three to get ready". The revamped version also now includes guest back-up vocals from Ingo (DONOTS) and Mike (DAMNATION A.D.).
